I see that you don't want to have this for your embedded project. :)

But I disagree here. Autodetection is even worse in the case for the 
image loaders as your application will fail during runtime to load a 
theme or display thumbnails, etc. In your strictly controlled env this 
is not a problem as you can only blame yourself but in my opinion this 
is a no-no for almost all other users. Thus I would vote against 
autodetection and choose the hard deps carefully to fit the majority of 
our users.
